Problem installing theme preview by viperal

New Member Joined: Feb 25, 2006 Posts: 2

What version of phpnuke are you guys using? The instructions *seem* perfectly applicable here...

Anyways, I can't get this to work at all... followed the instructions perfectly like 3 times and stil, no dice. Just gives the standard "There is a problem right now with this block." message.

I used fantastico to install php-nuke, and now the webhost has disabled cpanel, so I have no clue how to check the nuke version or get into fantastico to check.

Maybe I should just try something different? It took forever just to locate viperal's preview block, though (virperal.com is down).

Can someone help out?

Edit: Oh, poo. I just now noticed where this topic is. I guess I'll just start my own thread later. I'm too lazy for it right now. Razz

I just installed this theme preview to see if it would work, and the only issue I had was that the image was red x'd out in the top of the block. The block was calling for a image/theme.gif which didn't exist. I just removed the code that was calling for that and the block seems to work ok for me. Did you change the mainfile.php and the module/YourAccount/index.php like the install instructions call for?

But of course. Wink

Did your webhost give a reason for disabling cpanel? How are you suppose to administer your site correctly without it? It is a very easy way to work on DB's and such. May want to look elsewhere if they don't give you a valid reason.

Do you have error reporting turn to on? It may give a clue as to why, but it might not. Worth a try. I didn't notice any thing in the install as being only able to use it with certain versions of php. I use the RN 7.6 on my sites.

Well to check the version, use phpMyAdmin and go to your config table

I'm using the latest RavenNuke76 2.02.02, I installed the Theme Preview block with no problems at all. The only thing I can think to ask you is did you actually *activate the block* from your Admin console and if so is it referring to the correct block? Have a look ... otherwise.

If that's not the problem we'd need to know what version of phpnuke you are on, etc.

Pretty sure I got it in Downloads here but if not try NukeCops or NukeMods or one of those sites. You likely will have to register. Or, do a google (web) search for

download Themes Preview block

I am using phpnuke 7.3. About googling it... well i have spent precious hours trying to find and the only think i found was broken links or no link at all for dowloading it.

Disregard my previous post. I did find into your site thank. As a matter of fact i installed and was working great until i decided to to to php-nuke 7.8 patched.

Now when i try to preview another theme id does but i can't go back to home anymore. Somehow the changes into mainfile.php or index.php on your-account modules are a little different for this patched version.

Help...Help...i loved that block... how can i make that work again?

hey i have the block working fine for me on my site try this

open the modules block and look below the quoted copyright for

Code:




if ( !defined('BLOCK_FILE') ) {


    Header("Location: ../index.php");


    die();


}

now open the preview theme block and compare the 2 if there the same then try delting the theme preview block and reupload
